Honda revives its classic sport-touring platform with the return of its VFR800F Interceptor ($14,473.95 as tested). Powered by a purring and super-efficient V-Four engine, the new VFR gets sleeker body panels, wheels and instrumentation, as well as a reworked cooling and exhaust system.

Sometimes simple is better, and though there were plenty of big-bore adrenaline-kicking bikes produced in 2014, Honda's Grom stands out as one of the most unique mounts of the year, earning MotoUSA's Motorcycle of the Year award for 2014.
